there was a lumpy brown couch against the wall of the living room I sat on beige carpet facing beige wall and couch light scattered by the pale yellow lamp in the corner it was upholstered in tough fabric stitched with white diamond brocades punctuated by little red and blue squares my mother and father somewhere behind me in the kitchen the squat brown coffee table draped with delicate white cloth sat in between me and the couch we were just beginning back then, my family and I and sometimes my nascent memories of this home happen to intrude upon my thoughts and I capture this image with fond words like an awestruck lepidopterist as the vision in my head flutters like his subject cherished for as long as it is mine
something popped up in my bran and i wanted to get it out
